The fronts are a piece of pi55 to fit, takes about 1 Hour max.

Clamp the hose, take off pad retaining clip,undo hose from caliper, undo 2 x 7mm retaining/slider bolts, take off caliper.

Undo 2 x 10mm bolts, take off caliper hanger, take off disc.

Do the reverse with the V6 and bleed. Easy

Don't do a rear disk brake conversion.

Of course you use the calipers You need to get the disks drilled out and use a spiggot ring too as V6's are 5 stud.

Because you'll lock your rear brakes up, crash and die.

Drums are adequate for the weight of the car IMO.

v6 upfront and rear discs with braided lines is an ace combo IMO
